Lex tilted her head at the woman for a moment, trying to grasp all she had just shouted at her.
"You knoooow, you don't have to shout, I'm right here and when you say it like thaaaaaat, it makes it sound like what I did was wrong." Which of course couldn't be true because she was standing behind her word. According to her father, a Cambridge never went back on their word and she wasn't about to break that tradition by making the hat get away with not placing her in Ravenclaw. Nope.
Lex's eyes went wide at the woman's threat and she thought of challenging that but then she remembered how easily the woman had made her wand vanish....Now that he was all she had left...she didn't want him to vanish too. --The woman was even counting down. Alexa shot her a stubborn look; she didn't like it when she wasn't getting her way, this whole thing was making her miserable. Why couldn't this woman be like her father; he gave in easily and always let her have her way. POUT.
"A week's worth!?!?!? Have you gone insane?! If I work in the days during class then all night I'll probably DIE or something--I don't wanna die!!!!" death was the only thing she would publicly admit to fearing shamelessly.
"I have plenty of respect; honest!" Again, the Lainey woman should have been getting this lecture...not her.
GAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Merlin she was already at four!!! Felix would never make it! Grabbing hold of the creature she cradled him in her arms and turned away from the woman.
"Get away from us you mad woman!!!" Yes. She called her a mad woman--because she
WAS. Spinning sharply Lex ended up knocking a few trophies to the ground. Slowly she turned just a little so she could see the psychotic madwoman that wanted to kill her precious Felix.
"GET AWAY!!!!"
